I was very strictly gluten free for about 8 months before the test. The reason I got the test is that in the last month or so I've been getting progressively sicker. Despite still being sick I refuse to start eating gluten again until the doctor tells me what's wrong.

My blood test came back normal so 'it is unlikely I have celiacs' - is that right? I don't want to get too happy about being able to eat normal food again unless I'm sure it isn't just a false negative. I was gluten free at the time of the blood test, that wouldn't matter right? I guess the bad news is now I don't know what's wrong with me.

Since my gluten free diet doesn't seem to be working so well anymore (after 8 months) I decided to go to the doctor. She sent me to take a blood test and I'm still waiting for the results. She told me that through several tests it would be confirmed whether or not I had celiacs disease, but I thought these tests were fairly ambiguous, and that a negative...

Interesting that you say that, because my whole family went gluten free with me, except my sister, who wasn't living at home at the time. She moved back in Jan so there's been a whole lot more gluten in the house. In terms of other products, could I really be getting sick from shampoo etc? Thanks

So I was sick for about three years before someone suggested I go gluten free and started feeling better immediately, so I've been on a strict gluten free diet. But for the last month or so I've been feeling nauseas when I eat (which I used to get before going gluten free), and also have had fairly unpredictable bowel movements and cramps occasionally since...
